Our Mission: The Los Alamos Historical Society keeps alive the unique cultural, scientific, and historical legacy of Los Alamos and related regions.
From prehistoric times to the scientific revolution of today, no other place in the world can match the rich fusion of people and history that is Los Alamos. For 40 years, the Los Alamos Historical Society has been dedicated to preserving, protecting, and interpreting the entire spectrum of history of our unique region. The Society supports the Los Alamos Historical Museum, publishes books on the cultural and natural history of the region, and provides lectures and other events to further the knowledge of the history of Los Alamos.
The Los Alamos Historical Museum exhibits artifacts of early Pajarito Plateau dwellers as well as memorabilia from the Los Alamos Ranch School and displays from the Los Alamos National Laboratory's wartime era. Free admission. Summer hours are 9:30 to 4:30 Mon-Sat and 1:00 to 4:00 on Sundays. Open 361 days a year. Closed on major holidays.
